Projects!

I've been working on a couple different projects since Christmas that I wanted to share with you. I can't believe I didn't take before pictures of the dressing table and chair. Both were painted white and just needed to be cleaned up with a fresh coat of paint and some new fabric. I used Home Depot Behr paint and the color is Candlelight. The paint names always influence me (I guess that's called successful marketing). I'll be taking this piece to my shop space tomorrow and will dress it up with some red and pink Valentine accessories.

Here's my favorite! I love this old mantel top. I found this at a yard sale when I was visiting my sister. It's obviously been stored for a long time and is quite dirty. I'm not sure, but I think it will not go to the shop. I have an idea to use it in my house. I'd love to know it's history. Can't you just imagine the beautiful old house it was originally bought for? The wood under the paint is mahogany so I'm sure it was a beauty.
